Changing meds

Changing meds

Hi. I battled MDD & acute anxiety nearly all of my adult life. I've been on numerous different SSRIs, SRNIs, antipsychotics, tried rTMS & ECT. Am addicted to a benzo for my anxiety.

I am in the process of swapping out from a SRNI to a MAOI and the wash out period is hell. I really don't think I'm going to make it. This is the darkest place I have ever been.
I have no family support, honestly no friends, not able to work & are completely isolated.

i don't feel my medical team actually care much anymore, they are overwhelmed by new clients because of covid.

i hardly sleep, but the last thing in my mind before I do, is how much I want to die. It's the first thought of the day when I wake up.

what if this new medication doesn't work either??

Hi my friends!

Yes @WIP , I have finally been able to put my feet up. I've had a really good week at work this week - thoroughly enjoyed it, bar getting stuck in traffic commuting to and from work. Great to see you checking in @WIP ! I told you you are more resilient than you give yourself credit for. Hugs!

@Anastasia , enjoy your dinner and early night tonight!

Im so glad to be able to make connections here on the forums.

See you around!

Re: Changing meds

Not too bad @Anastasia

Anxiously waiting for Dan Andrews media conference to let us know what restrictions will be lifted.

Hope you are ok. ❤️

Re: Changing meds

Thanks lovely @Anastasia

I didn't see that you'd posted on my thread.....I just said Hello on the Good Morning thread.

How are you going? And your son? Is he settling down a bit?

I had a blah day y'day. I'm still not sleeping well and in a lot of pain with my back & ribs. It gets me down. I didn't even get that excited about the lifted restrictions for Melb. We can travel further, but no shops are trading, so it doesn't make much difference to me. I've got no friends to go and visit, and was seeing my Mum anyway. Sorry, sook over....
